TURNIGY Sentry 60amp Speed Controller
TURNIGY Sentry 60amp Speed Controller


Sentry 60A Brushless Speed Controller
The Sentry series of BESCs have an inbuilt battery cell protector.
By plugging the connector into the batterys charge port the BESC can ensure that the pack is balanced and that the pack never drops below a recomended level. This ensures your pack wont be over-discharged and destroy your battery.
Its the best way to protect your expensive batteries. Considering in most cases your battery costs more than your BESC, its a wise investment to get a Shield.

Our Turnigy speed controllers come with a 14 month warranty. We guarentee these are the best Brushless Speed Controllers you can purchase at this price.
These speed controllers are sold in western countries under various names at triple the price.
We are certain you will find these to be the best BESC available from Asia.

I would like to use it in my Robbe Parabolic with Roxxy Outrunner 2834/8 that will draw 26A with a 12x6 prop and 3S. Since the Sentry 40 is currently unavailable, do you think I may also use this 60A ? Or will it be too "big" (regardless of its weight)? Thaks for your comments!
   digidon (38%)
It doesent mether if you use more powerfull speed Controller then you need, if your motor draw 40A then u can use andy 40 speed controller, but if your motor draw like 60A you cant use 40A speed controller. The dimension and weight is almost same. so go for it :)
   Glacier Girl (67%)
The esc is the same weight as the 40, and going with the 60 means the esc won't have to work as hard to power your system. Also it gives you room to grow your system if you want. I always go over rate on the esc in my systems, especially when the esc is buried without a lot of airflow. The bigger esc will dissipate the heat better.

   Markus (53%)
it is better 60A
   carl (72%)
not to big just extra weight
   Bruce (70%)
The 60a will work very well in this application and run cooler
   eyeinthesky (68%)
Bigger is better, that way you can be sure. I dont think the weight would be an issue.

Purchased Turnigy 60 amp Sentry as well as Rhino 3700 14.8 battery.Wires on Sentry are 14 gauge,wires on battery are 10 gauge.Purchased sk 5055 580 motor and it looks like the wires are 10gauge on it. I use ec3 connectors. Any ides on how to solder 10 to 14 gauge wire or is this advisable.If so I would have 10 gauge from battery to 14 gauge through Sentry to 10 gauge to motor!!?? Ant ideas?
   Glacier Girl (67%)
You should be fine without having to change over the wires. I run these esc's above 50 amps all the time and haven't had a problem.

   eyeinthesky (68%)
Thats all fine, after your first flight check the wires if they are not warm, then you will be fine :-)
   jut (50%)
hope this helps ...10 to 14 gauge
i would heat but not over heat each end, and push a good bit of solder into the end of each wire, and the wire should soak up the solder until you have filled the wire up and its basically a blob of solder, and do this to both ends.... whilst doing this Dont over heat if plastic around wire begins to melt take away the heat. :).. At this point slip on some heat shrink, or tape it if u like. Now to join them i would try to push them together or anything but lay one next to the other tip to tip and heat the ends when solder heats they will just melt together.I just as they melt take of the heat press together... let cool and presto..
Hope this helps as this is how i do it.... and a good tip is while doing this manage the heat and try not to get it too hot...
This how i solder most things..solder on both parts then put together and heat :) good luck
   jut (50%)
hi i just replied on your question .... at one point i ment to say " i wouldn't try to push the wires together" sorry

Someone meanwhile been able to use the balance-board with 6S? I've been very sad, as I opend the package. Why sell such a nice feature on a 6S ESC, without the 6S Balance-Connector?

It says: "Supported motor speed for all TURNIGY ESCs is*
(Maximum): 210000 RPM (2 poles), 70000 RPM (6 poles), 35000 RPM (12 poles).
But is it ok with the 35-42D 1000kv (14 poles)?
   Ray (48%)
Yes it is that is the motor I use with mine

How do you program this without a card? Where is the manual?
   joeypizzi (34%)
The manual is that piece of paper that came with it. Not much to go from but you are able to program by listing to a series of beeps and moving the throttle stick.
   jbeauvil001 (28%)
you program it using the beeps that the ESC will give off when turned on in program mode.
   Glacier Girl (67%)
It's done by your tx. There is no manual, per se all you get is a sheet of instructions with the esc.

the sticker shows 26V, i think its 4.2Vmax for each cell and 26Vmax for a 6S battery!
   Amonster (34%)
hard as nails this esc
mines hit the ground very hard a few times and still pumping
been hosed and everything(long story)dam gum trees
   Raymond (56%)
They take into account that a lipo is 4.2 volts per cell when they lable it as 26 volts. I use 6 cell lipo on the esc and have know problems.

Luke (63%)
what kind of battery connector does this esc have? deans,ec3,or something else?
   ahsis (27%)
Female XT60
   Andreas (46%)
None of them. You have to use your own...
   ahsis (27%)
Sorry. Andreas is wright. I have checked properly with all the wires...
I used "HXT 3.5mm Gold Connector w/ Protector" for the esc, but only connectors, with 5-6mm heat shrink, ofcourse then you should use the soldering-iron otherwise use "XT60 Male w/ 12AWG Silicon Wire 10cm" or something similar depending on battery type connetion
   Rasmus johansen (61%)
Mine came wtitout any connecters, so remember to order some :) Im using deans and im very happy about them.
   igortyshchuk (27%)
It does not come with connectors so you will need to buy some.
   Raymond (56%)
You have to add your own connectors to the ESC when you receive the ESC this way you can make it connect using you favorite connector.
   joeypizzi (34%)
It comes with NO connectors at all, but is the goods!
   Glacier Girl (67%)
It doesn't come with a connector. You will need to solder your own choice on it.

what is the default setting?BEC Mode: Switchmode.what it mean?
   jostafew (42%)
BECs are either Linear or Switched. Sorry I can't remember 100% the differences at the moment, but Switchmode BEC is definetly a better power source. As i recall they are more efficient, particularly with higher cell count batteries. Linear BECs may not provide the full rated amperage at 3S plus.
   MarcusRjCharita (79%)
Linear BEC drops voltage from Lipo to 5V by termic generation through a resistance. This wasted energy turns into non desireable heat needs to be dissipated or ESC will burn due heat. This happens if hi volt lipo is used or if hi current is drawn from BEC, heat generated is much higher than ESC capability to dissipate it. So ESCs with Linear BEC run hotter, tend to last shorter and work usually with maximum 3S cell count. Switched BEC converts lipo voltage electronicaly and modern voltage swiches circuits do their job with 90% eficiency and so ESCs with Switched BECs run colder, tend to last longer and works with higher voltage lipos :o)
   Glacier Girl (67%)
Default is as follows, Brake off, Lion/Lipo battery, Reduce is the cut off mode, Medium is the voltage cut off threshold. Switchmode is the type of bec in the esc. There are two types of bec's. Switchmode and Linear.

can we use the esc, with 6s?it,s just burst current 62A?HK waiting for your answer, thanks
   alergigo (63%)
16/12/2009
   Bleary (63%)
Yes,will it do 6S? I have an older version(oemrc) that detects 6S as 5S.....not good.
Anybody?

ANTHONY (39%)
In the de******ion above it says
Cont Current: 60A
Burst Current: 62A
But the MANUAL says: Cont Current: 60A
Burst Current: 80A...DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE BURST CURRENT LISTED ABOVE TO 80A LIKE THE MANUAL SAYS?
   Trex450segf (80%)
is the governor mode included?
   Mcdyvie (61%)
Yes Governor Mode included...

Hello,

3 Questions:

1. can we use a 5S Lipo with this controller.
The Adapter on controller was Adapter 1 for max 4S Lipos.
we need Adapter 3 ??????

2. Have someone the Adapter wiring Schema.

3. Can we use the Controller without Lipo Balance Adapter.
   JANC (70%)
Hi,
I am asking myself the same question. The ESC is up to 22V that means 6S. One adaptor have connector for 4S (5 pins), one for 3S (4 pins) and one for 2S (3 pins). Perhaps it is possible to ad 4S and 2S and get 6S, but depends on how are this two connectors wiering on controler board (adaptor board). If this is not so, then it is not possible balance discharge for 5S and 6S. I intend to use 6S .......
The sad fact is that this discussions are dead and we will not get any answears, ideas, tips ........

w.b.r. Damijan

"3. Can we use the Controller without Lipo Balance Adapter.
"
Yes, I just tested my ESC without the balancer adapter connected, works just like it should. The balance adapter is a bonus...

ihave aturnigy 60 amp sentry esc aturnigy 42-40-900 motor and a rhino 3s 2350 23c battery. when i go to full throttle quickly the motor quits. when i move the throttle slowly it runs at full throttle. what is the problem? thanks - nebby
   alergigo (63%)
nebby, maybe the problem you have it in your batery, or in the programing mode, how the esc, cut off voltage
   sasquachcrap (55%)
yes yes and yes
